topical medication for treating inflammatory skin conditions like eczema

Pimecrolimus, also known by the brand name Elidel, is a topical medication used to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema (atopic dermatitis). It works by inhibiting calcineurin, which reduces the activity of T-cells in the immune system, thereby decreasing inflammation and the immune response in the skin.
